Chapter 886 A Taste Of Living Hell
Once the two burly men had had their fill, they climbed down from the bed, looking satisfied. Hugo got up from the couch, waved a dismissive hand at them, and said coldly, “You guys can get lost now.”
The men licked their lips as though they wanted more. However, they did not dare to go against Hugo’s command. They picked up their clothes from the floor, nodded at him, and left.
Hugo took the camera from the man in a suit standing to his right. He carefully went through the photos and felt quite satisfied with them, as they clearly captured Isabella’s dazed look and anguish.
He returned the camera to the man in the suit and dismissed him and the others with a wave of his hand. The men behind him nodded and left quietly with the camera.
Walking to the side of the bed, Hugo gazed at Isabella, who was staring at the ceiling as though in a stupor, with a smirk. “It must’ve felt good to have two men servicing you, huh?” he asked coolly.
Isabella’s gaze shifted, and she glared at him with bitter resentment as he looked at her condescendingly. Then, as though assailed by a sudden frenzy, she tried to get down from the bed, but she fell straight to the ground as soon as she moved.
Her body felt sore and weak, and she did not have an ounce of strength left.
“You’re a crazy b*stard, and you can expect retribution for this. I’ll make you pay for the humiliation I suffered today. You’d better finish me off now. Otherwise, as long as I’m still alive, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death,” she hissed through clenched teeth.
Hugo chuckled, seeming unperturbed.
“I’ve been putting my life on the line since the first ever task I carried out for Boss. You’re welcome to take my life at any time. Many would like to do so, and I wouldn’t mind if you were one of them,” he said.
Isabella shot him a death stare as she struggled to move her hand and pull the covers over her body.
Suddenly, the door flew open, and Oscar walked in.
“Boss, you’re here,” Hugo greeted politely.
Oscar strode forward. With his arms behind his back, he looked at Isabella as she lay on the bed.
A light flashed in Isabella’s eyes when she saw it was Oscar. She still harbored a fanciful hope in her heart, not wanting to believe that he was the one who had orchestrated the whole thing. I’d much rather it be Hugo who recklessly came up with this plot and that I’m still Oscar’s beloved. I’ve long coveted the honor of being the lady of the Clinton family, so how can I let the opportunity slip through my fingers just like that? There’s no way I’m giving up.
“Save me, Oscar. Hugo made me… You’ve got to seek justice for me. He harmed me, both mentally and physically.” She forced herself to climb off the bed while holding the covers around her, and instantly, her tears flowed like a river. Yet, she still managed to look pretty while crying.
Oscar merely gazed at her impassively. Had he not regained his memories, he might have been slightly affected by her tears. However, at that moment, he only felt thoroughly disgusted.
He had never liked Isabella, and the only reason he had not taken any action earlier was on Olivia’s account. But now, she had clearly crossed the line with him and nearly wrenched apart his little family.
I said before that I’m not a nice guy and have no intention of being a kind person. Those who cross me will have to pay a high price. As for Isabella, I’ll ensure she never has the chance to bounce back.
“I was the one who arranged all of this. I believe you enjoyed yourself thoroughly,” he uttered frostily.
Oscar’s response promptly dashed Isabella’s hopes.
“You said you loved me and that we’d get married soon. You can’t be so cruel to me,” she responded pitifully.
Sneering, he raised his hand and grabbed her chin. In an icy tone, he said, “I truly admire you for your ruthless tactics. You even managed to deceive me. I’ve nothing to say about how I underestimated you and fell into your trap. However, hearing you shamelessly declare that you love me makes me feel sick. Even if I forgot every memory about Amelia, there’s no way I’d have any wish to touch you. The mere sight of your body repulses me.”
Isabella’s face turned deathly pale, and her eyes had a hurt look mingled with disbelief.
“You can’t treat me like this. No, I know you must love me. I may have tricked you, but I do genuinely love you. Please don’t say such horrible things. It’ll make me upset,” she replied weakly.
I’ve sacrificed everything to have Oscar for myself and even proclaimed myself as the lady of the Clinton family. If he turns against me, I’ll have absolutely nothing. I can’t bear such an outcome.
“Don’t you enjoy being in the limelight? The incident where that video of you got widely circulated on the internet was merely child’s play. This time, I’ll turn you into a household name. The minute I step out of this room, your photos will be released via the newspaper and the internet. With that, you’ll truly become a well-known figure who can even give popular female stars a run for their money,” he said while gripping her chin tightly.
Isabella shuddered, and her eyes widened as she fixed her gaze on him.
“You can’t do this to me. I truly love you. If you blame me for ruining your marriage, I can apologize to Amelia and be your mistress willingly. I’m begging you, don’t ruin my reputation. I only did those things because my family forced my hand. They said they’d only be able to provide me with a life of riches if I managed to hook up with you. I didn’t have a choice. Please, I’m begging you,” she wailed, her body racked by convulsive sobs.
Alas, she had no idea that what happened was only the beginning. The brunt of Oscar’s wrath was still yet to come.
If she had known how terrifying his revenge would be and how one would never be able to recover from it, she would not have dared to provoke him.
“I’m sorry, Oscar. Give me another chance. I’ll apologize to Amelia personally and do anything she wants me to do. Please don’t hurt me. All this only happened because I love you too much.” With the covers wrapped around her, she got off the bed, then fell to her knees. She was attempting to weasel her way out of her predicament by backing down.
However, Oscar simply looked at her with an icy gaze.
As he returned to the couch, he instructed, “Hugo, snap her arms and legs. Since she’s so fond of doing evil deeds, I’ll make her stay in bed obediently.”
Hugo nodded expressionlessly.
